Hello.

I am using Win XP Prof and IE 8.

I have a hotmail message that is actually a 'chain' of emails back and forth
so it is obviously more than one page but when I go into 'File, Print
Preview,' it only shows 'one page' with a footer on the bottom with the rest
of the emails 'cut off.' I only want to print one part of the email.

Why doesn't print preview show the 'entire' email with the correct number of
pages that I can 'page up' and 'page down' on.

I would like to be able to 'page down' to the page I want to print and print
that way rather than highlighting' the part that I want to print, clicking
'file, print, selection, and 'okay.'

I was pretty sure that I used to be able to go 'page yp and down' in an
email message/webpage and only 'print' that specific page.

Follow-up to my initial post.

It took me 30 mins to figure this out but this is what I wanted to do:

The 'print preview' under 'File, Print Preview' in IE 8 only shows the first
page of an email but if I click on the 'printer icon' within hotmail, it
opens a 'printer friendly' page. I can right-click on the page, click on
'print preview,' and scroll up and down to the page I want to print and print
only that page.

In most programs, you can click/swipe across the text to highlight what
you want to print. Then click File, Print, and check "Selection". This
should print only the highlighted text. It doesn't work everywhere
though; the "Selection" button is sometimes grayed out.

There are no pages in HTML documents. Each HTML "page" is just one long
document.
